FORMS OF oArHs.



Some Of the Most Ancient Modes Of swear
Ing Recorded by Historians.
The ancient Germans swore by their
gods, by their swords and by their
boards.
The Scandinavians, besides appealing
to the gods. touched a bloody ring in
the hands of priest
In some parts of China a witness is
sworn upon a saucer. which is broken
at the moment he takes the oath.
The Hindoo swears by the Veda, the
sacred book of his religion. In like
manner the Mohammedan is sworn on
the Koran.
In Egypt the custom prevailed Of
swearing by the goose. This is said
to have been on account of the venera-
ton in which the goose was held in
that country.
In Madagascar the people swear
either by their sovereign or by their
mothers, and there are two forms Of
witnessing the oath, one to ''strike the
water and the other to ''spear the
calf"
The ancient Greeks and Romans
swore by Jupiter, Minerva, Neptune
and other gods and goddesses, laying
their heads upon the altar of the divinity
sworn by in taking particularly sacred
oath.
Anciently the Jews swore by Jerusa-
lem, by the temple, by the God of Israel,
and also by broken glass, this last form
being similar to the Chinese custom Of
breaking saucer against the witness
box.
In 'Bruce's Travels" it is said that
in Abyssinia ''they took the two fore
fingers of my right hand. one after the
other, and then kissed them--a form Of
swearing used there, at least among
those who call themselves Christians. !"
The most ancient form of swearing
of which there is any record is that
mentioned in the Bible in Genesis,
where Abraham, swearing his eldest
servant, required him to place his hand
under his (Abraham's) thigh. This
form is mentioned in several places in
the Old Testament.
According to Old6eld, in his '.Expe-
dition Into the Interior of Africa by the
Niger" at Iddah placing naked sword
or knife to the throat is looked upon as
the strongest proof of innocence and
the most solemn form of oath they can
administer. In this manner the King
is sworn, sometimes at the point of a
poisoned arrow. Chicago Netcs.

SNAKES IN MEXICO.

The Inconcelvable Number Of serpcnts
Found ON Chapaia's Islands.
Some of the islands are absolutely
unexplorable, because of the inconceiv-
able number and variety of the serpents
that infest them. No wonder those
early Indians considered skirt Of
woven snakes the most appropriate gar
inent for the goddess of the earth!
Centuries before the coming of the Az
tees the poetical people who inhabited
these Western shores, contemplating
the azure Pacific. named the goddess
of water Chalchiuhtlicue-..she of the
skirts of blue;" and no less appropri-
atelv the tribes of this section called the
earth's goddess Chihuacoatl-..she of
the skirt of snakes" Other tribes call
her Coatlicue-'th the woman serpent
the Aztec Eve, whose head is SER
penis, with the breast and limbs of a
woman, and whose gown is web Of
snakes adorned with tassels and feath-
ers. In attempting to explore some of
the islands Of Lake Chapala it seemed
as if the earth literally wore skirt of
serpents." The ground swarmed with
them, swaying and writhing from every
bush, Kissing and squirming on every
fallen tree, and ripping the water in
all directions. It was a question as to
which were more numerous, the birds
above or snakes below. They tell us
that as soon as the spring birds reap
pear there is great gathering Of
snakes below and hawks above. The
latter literally cover the trees, and
whenever hunger dictates they make a
dash at the tired little creatures who
have settled upon the islands after their
annual return from some unknown re-
gion- II bird escape the hawks and
seeks to refresh himself with drink, in
the twinkling Of an eye he is swallowed
by one of the greedy serpents that lie
in wait for him at the waters edge
